I was born in New York City but now live in Philadelphia. I have been doing family history research since 2003. This led me to Find A Grave, where I was able to find some graves of ancestors and request photos of others.While photographing graves of people I was researching, I began to take pictures of other graves in the area. I try to limit my photos to older headstones. I realize that at some point in time, someone cared deeply for these people. I hope that by adding this information to Find A Grave I am preserving some family history for others.If you have any questions on these names, please feel free to reach out to me.Anyone who wishes to add information, correct or remove a memorial that I placed, please e-mail me. Please reference Find A Grave in the subject line.

Edward Stoltz and FamilyThank you! These memorials unlocked a major roadblock in my brother in law's family tree.I could not believe the name Pubanz last name until I saw it in the photo you posted, along with his wife Edna Stoltz.Good job! Tom

RE: Beyer familyI check out some of the Beyer names that you added/manage. I will go through the rest to see any I recognize. My GGGreatfather was Johann Godfried Beyer from Lubeck, Germany, arriving in NY in 1853 and residing in Otsego, NY in 1855 before moving to New Jersey.

RE: Thomas Barry at New CathedralSusan, oh heavens, this is what I get for not reading carefully! My mom's grandfather is the NEPHEW in this obituary...the problem is his wife's name was also Mary and I got distracted. Makes me wish I came from a family with a more uncommon name. I was digging around in New Cathedral trying to find the grave of Jeremiah Barry, who would have been the brother of my Thomas.

RE: William VanHornI never think of looking there! Thank you so very much! I am always amazed when I see people dying on or near their birthdays. And isn't it strange? His wife died of "softening of the brain" and he died of "congestion of the brain"! I wonder what that really means, medically speaking? (BTW, My brain is getting soft today after all the genealogy work I have done today...LOL!!)

RE: Maria Foster Van Horn-William B Van HornThank you, Susan. You must live close-by. The death date is engraved on his stone. I just can't read it. I can see the "Apr" part, that's all...He was the great-grandfather of my husband's aunt.
